Watford Newcastle United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario is that there will be a few goals in the final score. Watford’s home matches are usually fertile in goals, as well as Newcastle’s away matches. Therefore, we expect an open match, played in a high pace from beginning to end, which means there will be plenty of goal opportunities for both teams.
